My husband and I throw a blowout party during the holidays that normally involves the heavy drinking of his friends. What kind of responsibility do we have if one of them gets in a car accident while trying to drive home after the party?

I want to break the lease on my apartment, so I can move in with a friend and save money. My landlord says I still have to pay the remaining five months rent. Is there any way to break the lease and avoid paying rent?

I'm renting an apartment and have eight more months left on the lease. I'm planning to travel over the next four months and want to rent the apartment to a friend while I'm gone. Do I have the right to rent the apartment to someone else?
